SyncLite Logger is a JDBC driver, enables developers to rapidly build
-sync-enabled, robust, responsive, high-performance, low-latency, transactional, data intensive applications for edge/mobile/desktop platforms using their favorite embedded databases (SQLite, DuckDB, Apache Derby, H2, HyperSQL)
-large scale data streaming solutions for last mile data integrations into a wide range of industry leading databases, while offering ability to perform real-time analytics using the native embedded databases over streaming data, at the producer end of the pipelines.
SyncLite DB is a sync-enabled, single-node database server that wraps popular embedded databases like SQLite, DuckDB, Apache Derby, H2, and HyperSQL. Unlike the embeddable SyncLite Logger library for Java and Python applications, SyncLite DB acts as a standalone server, allowing your edge or desktop applications—regardless of the programming language—to connect and send SQL requests (wrapped in JSON format) over HTTP.
SyncLite Client is a command line tool to operate SyncLite devices, to execute SQL queries and workloads.
SyncLite DBReader enables data teams and data engineers to configure and orchestrate many-to-many, highly scalable, incremental/log-based database ETL/replication/migration jobs across a diverse array of databases, data warehouses and data lakes.
SyncLite QReader enables developers to integrate IoT data published to message queue brokers, into a diverse array of databases, data warehouses and data lakes, enabling real-time analytics and AI use cases at all three levels: edge, fog and cloud.
SyncLite Consolidator is the centralized application to all the reader/producer tools mentioned above, which receives and consolidates the incoming data and log files in real-time into one or more databases, data warehouses and data lakes of user’s choice. SyncLite Consolidator also offers additional features: table/column/value filtering and mapping, data type mapping, database trigger installation, fine-tunable writes, support for multiple destinations and more.
SyncLite JobMonitor enables managing, scheduling and monitoring all SyncLite jobs created on a given host.
SyncLite Validator is an E2E integration testing tool for SyncLite.

docker-start.shto run the docker container (Please check options passed to docker run command e.g. the home directory of the current user is mapped to/rootinside docker to persist all the SyncLite storage in the native host).OR manually start applications from your tomcat manager console.
-
Open tomcat manager console http://localhost:8080/manager (Use synclite/synclite as the default user/password when prompted as set by the deploy script). The manager web console will show all the SyncLite applications deployed.
-
Open http://localhost:8080/synclite-consolidator to launch SyncLite Consolidator application
-
Open http://localhost:8080/synclite-sample-app to launch SyncLite sample web application
-
Configure and start SyncLite consolidator job in the SyncLite Consolidator application. You can follow through the "Configure Job" wizard reviewing all the default configuration values. Create databases/devices of any type from the deployed sample web application and execute SQL workloads on several devices at once specifying the device index range. Observe data consolidator in the SyncLite Cosolidator dashboard. You can check device specific data consolidation progress on individual device pages (from "List Devices" page), query destination database on the "Analyze Data" page.
-
This release also comes with a CLI client for SyncLite under tools/synclite-client. You can run synclite-client.bat(WINDOWS)/synclite-client.sh (UBUNTU) to start the client tool and execute SQL operations which are not only executed/persisted on the native database but also consolidated by the SyncLite consolidator into destination DB.
- Usage 1 :
synclite-client.bat/synclite-client.sh ==> Will start with DB = <USER.HOME>/synclite/job1/db/test.db, DEVICE_TYPE = SQLITE, CONFIG = <USER.HOME>/synclite/db/synclite_logger.conf - Usage 2 :
synclite-client.bat/synclite-client.sh <path/to/db/file> --device-type <SQLITE|DUCKDB|DERBY|H2|HYPERSQL|STREAMING|SQLITE_APPENDER|DUCKDB_APPENDER|DERBY_APPENDER|H2_APPENDER|HYPERSQL_APPENDER> --synclite-logger-config <path/to/synclite/logger/config> --server <SyncLite DB Address> - Note: If --sever switch is specified then the client connects to SyncLite DB to execute SQL statements, else it usages embedded
SyncLite Loggerlibrary to directly operate on the devices.
- Usage 1 :
-
This release also comes with SyncLite DB server under tools/synclite-db. You can run synclite-db.bat(WINDOWS)/synclite-db.sh(UBUNTU) to start SyncLite DB server and connect to it using synclite-client to execute SQL operations which are not only executed/persisted on the specified embedded database but also consolidated by the SyncLite Consolidator onto the destination databases.
- Usage 1 :
synclite-db.bat/synclite-db.sh==> Will start SyncLite DB with default configurations - Usage 2 :
synclite-db.bat/synclite-db.sh --config <path/to/synclite-db/config>
- Usage 1 :
-
Use
stop.bat(Windows) /stop.sh(LINUX) to stop SyncLite consolidator job (if running) and tomcat. OR RUN docker-stop.sh to stop the docker container. -
Refer
sample_apps/javaandsamples_apps/pythonand use any of them as a starting point to build your own application. -
You can install/use a database of your choice and perform data consolidation to it (instead of the default SQLite destination): PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite, DuckDB.
-
This release also packages docker scripts to setup PostgreSQL and MySQL to serve as SyncLite destinations.
bin/dst/postgresqlcontainsdocker-deploy.sh,docker-start.shanddocker-stop.shbin/dst/mysqlcontainsdocker-deploy.sh,docker-start.shanddocker.stop.sh
-
You can deploy your applications on remote hosts/devices and share the local-stage-directory of your respective SyncLite applications with SyncLite Consolidator host via one of the following file staging storages:
- SFTP
- Amazon S3
- MinIO Object Storage Server
- Apache Kafka
- Microsoft OneDrive
- Google Drive
- NFS Sharing
- Local Network Sharing
Please check documentation for setting up these staging storages for SyncLite : https://www.synclite.io/resources/documentation
-
This release also packages docker scripts to setup SFTP and MinIO servers to serve as SyncLite stage.
bin/stage/sftpcontainsdocker-deploy.sh,docker-start.shanddocker-stop.shbin/stage/miniocontainsdocker-deploy.sh,docker-start.shanddocker-stop.shNOTE: These scripts contain default configurations. You must change usernames, passwords and setup any additional security mechanisms on top of these basic setups.
-
The SyncLite docker scripts
bin/docker-deploy.sh,bin/docker-start.sh,bin/docker-stop.shcontain two variables at the top to choose a stage and destination:-
STAGE : Set it to SFTP or MINIO.
-
DST : Set it to POSTGRESQL or MYSQL.
Once you set the STAGE and DST to appropriate values e.g. SFTP and POSTGRESQL, the
docker-deploy.shanddocker-start.shscripts will bring up docker containers for SyncLite consolidator, SFTP server and PostgreSQL server and you will be all set to configure and start a SyncLite consoldiator job be able to consolidate data into PostgreSQL server received from remote SyncLite applications configured to connect to the SFTP stage.
-
-
After a successful trial, if you need to perform another trial, stop the docker containers, and delete contents under
/home/syncliteto start a fresh trial of a different scenario etc. -
Open http://localhost:8080/synclite-dbreader (and open http://localhost:8080/synclite-consolidator) to setup database ETL/Replication/Migration pipelines.
-
Open http://localhost:8080/synclite-qreader (and open http://localhost:8080/synclite-consolidator) to setup rapid IoT pipelines.
-
Open http://localhost:8080/synclite-job-monitor to manage, monitor and schedule various SyncLite jobs.

SyncLite DB is a sync-enabled, single-node database server that wraps popular embedded databases like SQLite, DuckDB, Apache Derby, H2, and HyperSQL. Unlike the embeddable SyncLite Logger library for Java and Python applications, SyncLite DB acts as a standalone server, allowing your edge or desktop applications—regardless of the programming language—to connect and send/post SQL requests (wrapped in JSON format) via a REST API. This makes it an ideal solution for seamless, real-time data synchronization in diverse environments.
-
Go to the directory
synclite-platform-<version>\tools\synclite-db -
Check the configurations in synclite-db.conf and adjust them as per your needs.
-
Run
synclite-db.bat --config synclite-db.conf( ORsynclite-db.sh --config synclite-db.confon linux). This starts the SyncLite DB server listening at the specified address. -
An application in your favoirite programming language can establish a connection with the SyncLite DB server at the specified address and send requests in JSON format as below
- Connect and initialize a device
Request
{ "db-type" : "SQLITE" "db-path" : "C:\synclite\users\bob\synclite\job1\test.db" "synclite-logger-config" : "C:\synclite\users\bob\synclite\job1\synclite_logger.conf" "sql" : "initialize" }Response from Server
{ "result" : true "message" : "Database initialized successfully" }- Send a sql command to create a table
Request
{ "db-path" : "C:\synclite\users\bob\synclite\job1\test.db" "sql" : "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS(a INT, b INT)" }Response from Server
{ "result" : "true" "message" : "Update executed successfully, rows affected: 0" }- Send a request to perform a batched insert in the created table
Request
{ "db-path" : "C:\synclite\users\bob\synclite\job1\test.db" "sql" : "INSERT INTO t1(a,b) VALUES(?, ?)" "arguments" : [[1, "one"], [2, "two"]] }Response from Server
{ "result" : "true" "message" : "Batch executed successfully, rows affected: 2" }- Send a request to begin a transaction on database
Request

{ "result" : "true" "message" : "Database closed successfully" } -
SyncLite DB (internally leveraging SyncLite Logger), creates a device stage directory at configured stage path with sql logs created for each device. These device stage directories are continuously synchronized with SyncLite consolidator for consolidating them into final destination databases.
-
Several such hosts, each running SyncLite DB, each of them creating several SyncLite databases/devices (i.e. embedded databases), can synchornize these embedded databases in real-time with a centralized SyncLite consolidator that aggregates the incoming data and changes, in real-time, into configured destination databases.
SyncLite Validator is a GUI based tool with a war file deployed on app server, it can be launched at http://localhost:8080/synclite-validator. A test job can be configured and run to execute all the end to end integration tests which validate data consolidation functionality for various SyncLite device types.
- SyncLite Logger is is published as maven dependency :
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.synclite/synclite-logger --> <dependency> <groupId>io.synclite</groupId> <artifactId>synclite-logger</artifactId> <version>#LatestVersion#</version> </dependency> - OR You can directly download the latest published synclite-logger-.jar from : https://github.com/syncliteio/SyncLiteLoggerJava/blob/main/src/main/resources/ and add it as a dependency in your applications.
